PURPOSE To introduce a novel technique of inferior rectus recession operation to allow larger amounts of recession without causing lower lid retraction and to compare this method with the results obtained in standard inferior rectus recession. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 20 patients operated on in the authors' clinic. The median age of the patients was 24.5±18.6 (4-73) years and ...

Sixty-one lid-loading procedure, performed by the author, were evaluated prospectively. Simple, gold weight implantation, combined with lower lid retractor recession, placement of fascia lata, and lateral tarsal strip tightening is effective for promoting voluntary closure and correction of lower lid paralytic ectropion. Placement of a heavier gold weight, in combination with mullerectomy, is a...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the limbus-insertion distance (LID) of the lateral rectus (LR) muscle can be a useful indicator for predicting the surgical effect of recession surgery in intermittent exotropia (IXT). Patients who underwent unilateral or bilateral LR recession for the basic type of IXT were included. The distance between the corneal limbus and the posterior edge...

Various surgical techniques have been proposed for treating distichiasis in dogs. A technique involving eyelid splitting and double freeze-thaw cryotherapy with anterior lamellar recession was evaluated. A 3 year old, female, Staffordshire bull terrier was referred for bilateral distichiasis. There were bilateral multiple distichiasis of the upper lids, more severe on the right lid with double ...

introduction: aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of minor lateral tarsorrhaphy in conjunction with levator muscle recession in thyroid ophthalmopathic patients with severe lid retraction in order to correct the temporal flare in these patients methods: in a before-after clinical trial study, 22 eyelids of 12 patients with severe lid retraction underwent surgery by this method and th...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Raising a displaced lower eyelid frequently involves recession of the lower eyelid retractors with interposition of a "spacer," and several materials for this purpose have been described. This study reviewed the results of autogenous palatal mucosa in the treatment of lower eyelid displacement, including assessment of any donor site morbidity. METHODS A retrospective case note...
